0:00.0	At the Coffee and Bible Time podcast, our goal is to help you delight in God's Word and thrive in Christian living.
0:11.7	Each week, we talk to subject matter experts who broaden your biblical understanding,
0:16.9	encourage you in hard times, and provide life-building tips to enhance your Christian walk. We are so
0:23.6	glad you have joined us. Welcome back to the Coffee and Bible Time podcast. This is Ellen,
0:32.5	your host, and today we are asking a question that we all need to wrestle with. What is forming you?
0:39.6	Whether we realize it or not, we are all being shaped, whether that's by our habits, our desires,
0:47.2	our screens, our fears, and ultimately by whatever we love most. Well, our guest today is pastor and author Kyle Worley,
0:56.6	whose most recent book formed for fellowship, Becoming What You Behold, explores how spiritual
1:03.4	formation is not just about doing more for God, but about being with him, seeing him,
1:13.7	knowing him, and being changed in the process. This book connects the dots between the formative practices that we talk about, like prayer,
1:20.4	Bible reading, obedience, and the God who invites us into relationship with himself and with
1:26.7	others. If you've ever found yourself wondering
1:29.2	why the Christian life looks the way it does or feeling stuck in the how, this conversation is for you.
1:37.1	Kyle, welcome to the show. We are so glad that you're here. Ellen, thanks for having me. I'm glad to be here.

1:46.5	book on these formative practices and formed her discipleship. You created these as part of a curriculum,
1:53.8	correct, with J.T. English and Jen Wilkin. Tell us a little bit about how this book fits into these resources and what in particular
2:04.8	you're hoping people are going to take away from this one.
2:07.7	Yeah.
2:08.0	Well, thanks for asking.
2:09.3	Over the last 10 years, Jen Wilkin and J.T. English and I have been working together to
2:13.4	just try to address the crisis of biblical and theological literacy.
